Leadership is the ability to devise means to attract the masses or formulate policies to meet immediate crises and satisfy the demands of the people. However, since the 2005 general and presidential elections, Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf has not been able to bring home the bacon for the Liberian people but still retains the instinct of a ggurrilla leader as gut wrenching corruption of her administration now is dashing the hope of the Liberian people.

The International Commnity by now has realized that Ellen's presidency was a political mistake as evidenced by the abuse of power and rampant corruption, as indicated in International Transparency Report. In spite of the political crisis brewing in her administration relative to bread and butter and a country she has not been able to fix, Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf is hell bent on pulverizing the progressives and has adapted a strategy of political flexibility to rid out the storm of oppositions and re-emerge in the October elections. She has assimilated a bunch of loyalists and carpet baggers to lower level positions to embark upon deceiving the electorates by presenting as false what is true of the economic hardship in her administration.

Where are the progressives against back drop of political mediocrity of high unemployment the country has ever experienced; are they still agents of change and will they stand up and speak against the continuing human indignities and political irregularities that permeate the Ellen's regime? Are they willing to put at risk the political future of the country or personal ambitions have overshadowed the people's cause?

Amid Ellen's calibrated defiance to implement the TRC Report and reconstitute the Election Commission, can the progressives rally the troops agains Ellen's blatant disregard for the rule of law or they have chosen the easy wat out to support the candidacy of Ellen's second term of office. Laughable, should we really allow this power inebrated woman a second term in office in the face of rampant corruption and high unemployment in the country or rally the troop against her in the coming elections.

Where are the progressives against failed campaign promises of light and water and a nation in darkness? Paul Greenberg once said, "When a nation lives by its principles, it dies with them"; have the progressives abondoned their principles for the Ellen's gravy Train?

Ellen has infiltrated the Union ofLiberian Association in the Americas, (ULLA) and has reduced it into factional heads. The Union which has been a liaison between the people and the Liberian government for more than 30 years has been unproductive and has abondoned its advocacy status. Some of the self-proclaim photo opts leaders are paid agents for the Ellen's corrupt regime.

Where are the progressives since the ellen's administration has not been able to put forward a genuine public policy agenda that will create change for our people still living in squalor. Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf and her cronies are openly swindling the nation's resources buying votes and increasing their foreign accounts. Where are the progressives and will they help the masses inspire our people who are in despair and need a way out of the economic harship to help them make the right decisions in the coming elections.

It is imperative for the progressives to be conscious of 2011 which is pivotal to the political direction of our country because the simple minded strategy by the Sirleaf administration is to deny the peple economic survival until the elections before giving out bags of rice in exchange for their votes which is a bad strategy.

It is obvious Ellen is dictatorial and doesn't mean well for the country she is presiding over. What was not also surprising was the fact that Ellen awarded a medal of honor to Cocoo Dennis as a war hero for killing innocent women and children in Liberia. The events that honored such a despicable killer was a slap in the face of the Liberian people by Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf who according to the TRC Report is also responsible for the killing of innocent people in the 14 years civil crisis in Liberia.

Across the globe are waves of political current moving with jet-like speed for change and equal justice. There is a balloon flying with that current fron Tunisia, Sudan, Ivory Coast, Gabon, Jordan, Yemen, and Lebanon and now over Egypt. The world does't quiet yet know where this balloon is going to land but we have to watch the movement because it might be a dominos effect and Liberia is not immune to the current of change now sweeping across the globe. We just have to be brave and rise to the challenge of the moment.

With voters' registration still hanging in the balance, anxiety is setting in as to the recurring of 2005 elections when France Johnson-Morris and James Flomoyan rigged the presidential electon and deprived voters their choice of leadership.

As concerned citizen of Liberia, I deem it necessary to sound the trumpet for the progressives to champion the people's cause and remain the impetus that keeps the TRC Report afloat for implementation. I am sounding the trumpet for the Ellen's addministration to reconstitute the EllectionCommission in order to avoid fraud in the coming elections. Mak no mistake the country is still a tender box waiting to catch on fire if potential problems in the electoral process are not addressed before October.

What is also surprising is that instead of completing the ministries and agencies built by the Doe administration, Ellen opted to pay arrears to her people for properties built with stolen money in Liberia. It is imperative that Ellen listen to the voices of the people and unconditionally implement the TRC Report and meet the demand to reconstitute the Election Commission. She need to be mindful there is a balloon for change flying around the globe, it is important to keep watch on the location of this balloon. I call on likeminded progressives to mobilize and rally the troops for the common good of a country spinning for political direction and leadership.
